It is af firmed that the baker, who is arrested, is out of his mind, anti has already given many proofs of his insanity. The Gazette of Madrid, of the 26th and 28th, refutes with much bitterness the gloomy description given by the Journal du Commerce of the situation of Spain, and parti cularly of the capital. This refutation is doubtless not strictly correct, but it must be owned that the Corre spondent of the Journal du Commerce renders his ve racity rather suspicious, when he describes the grass growing in the streets of Madrid, and the promenades of the Pratt() frequented only by prostitutes and Gerdes du Corps. It . the Madrid Gazette persists in the system which it seems lately to have adopted, of refuting all the impostures of certain French journals, with respect to the Peninsula, it will have plenty to do. To speak of only some of the most striking fasehoods in the papers receivedl6-day, we notice- in .the Journal des Pebots the account of the Royal salutation of Don Carlos by an Ensign of the Guards and of the, scene which en sued between the Ensign and General d'Espagne, and that otthe pretended continuation of the troubles at Cuenca, Which cannot continue, because they have never taken Awe, we m a y j u d ge whether the details relative to the secret projects of the Governments, and the conferences of the Members of the Diplomatic Body rest on more certain data. As for the interviews which the same Journal des Debuts says takes place several times in a day between his Ca tholic Majesty and the English Ambassador, it will suffice to say, that it is not certain that that Ambassador has had a tingle private audience of his Majesty during the whole of his stay at St. Ildefonso; and a person must be very ignorant of the usages of the Spanish Court 4 believe in such repeated communications between King Ferdinand and the Representative of any foreign Power whatever. It is sometimes curious to see how the spirit of party leads newspaper politicians to talk nonsense, and contra dict themselves. The Journal des De bats, for instance, which has so often declared that the Ambassador of France at Madrid was without any influence, and serves only as an instrument to Mr. Lamb, all at once exclaims, in its Number of the 16th September, that it was much to be desired, for the repose of Spain," that that Ambassador Were recalled, instead of remaining at Madrid, to enjoy at leisure the fine result of his too-powerful influence, and of the brilliant spectacle of poor Spain, such as it has been made by French diplomacy.

VIINN A SEPT. 29.—Metalliques, 90 1-82 ; Hank Bharee, I°l3, 3-10. 10 accordance with the promise we gave a few days L ao) to watch the proceedings of the Police-offices, we this day offer a few 'remarks on the cases l'r°l-ight forward by JOHNSON, the informer, on Satur (l4Y last, at the Marlborough-street Office, against publicans, for breaches of the laws regard tile internal management of public-houses. We trult, however, that in selecting this opportunity we 0411111ot be deemed the advocates of an informer, ie 'd any of our readers to infer that we at all ap- P t "e of such characters. We have no feelings of Z' tl 'lmsaion towards Mr. JOHNSON, on the contrary, , e ctiiress - tve loath his genus from the bottom of our 11 t h ' , all& hop e , as i n d ee d we con fid e ntly anticipat e , 11 1 44 th is s l entiment m a y be universal. But really uvv is made to appear in so very ridiculous a light Y the decisiQ nof th e Magistrates in two of the cases before referred to, that we deem it right, as far as in us lies, to rescue it from such imputations, and plainly and openly to declare that the decisions were as illegal as they were absurd. The first case we shall mention was that of Mrs. ISABELLA YAPP, who was summoned before the Magistrate on a charge which ran thus in the in formation, viz. 1 (4 for having on a certain night, at late hours, entertained other than travellers, in the house of him the said ISABELLA YAPP." Now a Mr. VIRGO, an attorney, appeared on the behalf of Mrs. YAPP, and took an objection to this information, that the word him was used instead of her.; and, wonder ful to say, the Magistrates held the objection fatal, and quashed the information upon that ground. Mr. VIRGO, as an attorney, must have known that such an objection would be met in the 'Courts of , Law with a Pho, Pho I and he must have felt that he could not have found a , barrister, in the whole range of the bar, who could have been induced to take it. Mr. VIRGO was, however, bound to make the hest of the object tion on the behalf of his client, and therefore no blame can attach to him. We must, nevertheless, express our surprise that any Magistrate could be found within the circuit of the Public Offices, who could for an instant hesitate to disallow it as frivolous and absurd. It is the constant practice of the Courts to reject as surplusage all expressions in pleadings which can have no meaning, and hold the smile good if, after such rejection; enough is left to make them plain and in telligible. If this very simple rule had been adopted in this case, the information in question would have stood thus, "in the house of the said ISABELLA YAPP," and then we defy even Mr. Vutoo, redoubt• able as he is, with all his ingenuity, to take the smallest objection to it. The next case is that of Mr. GWILLAM. The information in this case was liable to a similar objec tion as that of Mrs. YAPP, except that in the last case the word your was used, where, in the first case, the word lain: was used, anti, of course, met with the fate of its predecessor. This case, however, was not quite so clear as that of Mrs. YAPP, because the words " your said house," were not followed as in the former one with "of the said" (publican.) This dif ficulty might then have been allowed to puzzle the heads of the Police Magistrates—never at the best particularly clear as to law ; and, were it not for the former decision, we should have passed it over with out observation as wrong certainly, but not more so than is usual at the Public Offices. It is, however, quite clear, that the same before-quoted simple rule would be equally applicable to the case of Mr. GwiLLAM as to that of Mrs. YAPP; and the wordyour might even here have been rejected as surplusage, so as to leave the information thus "in said house."-- Were it necessary, thousands of cases could be quot ed in support of the rule laid down 'even in criminal cases, to which the statutes of ,je9filds, as they are technically called, did not extend ; but since the in troduction of .Mr. PEEL'S Act of the last Ses sion of Parliament, which is specially directed against frivolous objections like these, and which does, in effect, extend the statutes of jeofails to criminal proceedings, it is, we must say, unpardonable that it was not permitted to have its intended healing opera tion, and thus support the two informations which 'have been so illegally dismissed. In extenuation of the Magistrates, we may observe, that Sir GEORGE CRETWYND has not brought down " BURN'S Justice of the Peace" to the 7th of Geo. IV., and we could therefore hardly expect the Act in question to be known to them. We beg pardon of the Magistrates., for dealing with them thus , unceremoniously, but the law has quite enough of substantial objectionable qualities, without loading it with crimes it knows not of. The public have every disposition . to treat it with con tempt, and not only to view it as a rule to protect the weak from the strong, 'but as a system rendered pur posely defective, in order to_put money in the lawyers' pockets. The charge is indeed very ridiculous, and very absurd, but in the minds of the million it exists to conviction ; and it would therefore he useless to contend against it. The more the lawyers , argue against it, the more the dogs would bark ; the law must therefore be left to its fate, to fight its own battles, as it well can ; but justice and fair play de mand that it should not be reviled, without at least the semblance of truth. It appears by the French Papers, that Rear Admiral Monckton died recently at Havre, at an advanced age. His funeral took place on the Gth instant. The funeral honours were performed by a battalion of the 64th French regiment. His Majesty's ship, Blonde, arrived at Spithead on Monday, from Bermuda, to which island she pro ceeded a few weeks since, with Lieutenant-Colonel Fanshawe, of the Royal Engineers. It is understood that Colonel Fanshawe has made the survey of the present state of the fortifications, and the means of defence which the Bermudas afford, which he was sent out unexpectedly to perform, and that he has returned to England in the Blonde. The following has been circulated as the account of the proceedings yesterday in the affair of. Nfr.,J. H. Israel. A meeting of the Committee of the Foreign Stock Market was convened for the purpose of con firming the resolution passed at the meeting of the Committee on Saturday last, relative to the conduct of Mr. J. H. Israel. Nothing new transpired, and the vote of censure was unanimously adopted. Mr. Israel was then ordered to be called in ; and, on his making his appearance, the Committee informed him of what h a d b een d o ne. The Chairman read the vote of cen sure, and spoke in strong terms on the unwanantahle course pursued by Mr. Israel . The Committee then Ordered . that the vote of censure should be hung in some conspicuous place in the market, in order that it might act a act as a caution to thos e who.might need admo onion ind adjourned. future. Mr. Israel withdrew , a nd the Com mitteelt is are makigratifying to know that considerable advances manufacturing much ogthroughout the country to a state Acorn mercial and somewhat brisker ceu nts agree in stating, that the demand for goods is prosperity.

BOLTON PETTY SESSIONS. THE TILDESLEY WORKMEN. Charge under the Combination Act, sth Geo. IV. r. (6, and for the Riot and Assault at Common Law. SATURDAY, OCT. 7.—The presiding Magistrates, this day, were Colonel Fletcher, Major Watkins, and Joseph Ridgway, Esq. At a little after twelve o'clock, Jame: Green, Henry Pendleltury, Jeffrey Crank, and Richard Brindle, all of Tildesley, in this county, cotton spinners, were put to the bar, charged upon two informations , ox the oaths of Thos. Fulshaw and Thos. Mulleneux, with having, on the 16th day of September last, prevented informants from accept ing employment at the Cotton-spinning Mill belonging to Mr. Jones, of Tildesley, which, und e r the above Act of his present ajesty, subjects the prisoners to two months' imprisonment. About a month ago, Mr. Jones gave notice to his work men that he should, at the end of a fortnight from the date of the same, make a certain deduction in their rate of wages; which the men not agreeing to accept, unanimous ly turned out, and left Mr. Jones's employment. At the time the reduced list of wages was proposed, a good spin ner, it seems, could clear, after all deductions, as much as 455. per week, and in many instances, where the family of the spinner were employed, 60s. ; and at the reduced list, a spinner would get with his family 40s. The old spinners having turned out, Mr. Jones found it necessary to supply their places with new hands, when many p oor weavers readily sought employment, where they could earn more than double what they could in their own trade. Amongst this class of weavers were Mulleneux and Fill shaw. To these men, it seems, the old spinners offered every species of annoyance, whom they designated by the appellation of " knob sticks," and collected round Jones's mill for the purpose of preventing the new bands having admission there. _ . Evidence haVing been produced'and examined, the pri soners were bound over to appear at the General Quarter Sessions at Kirkdale, to answer any bill that might be preferred against them for the riot and assault, themselves in 301. each, and two sureties in and the witnesses were bound over to appear and prosecute.—ln the course of the day the prisoners found bail.

BOW—STREET--(Tins DAN.) Henry Thomas, a stable-boy, and a hackney-coaehman whose name did not transpire, were brought up on a charge of assaulting Wm. Cross, at eleven o'clock last night, in the Strand. It appeared that there was a great crowd collected round two persons who were sham-fighting, at the Queen's Read public house, at that hour, and the complainant, who was pestling by, endeavoured to separate the combatants, when he was knocked down by Thomas, who appeared to have created this row the more effec tually to accomplish his purpose. After the watchman had come up, Thomas, together with his gang, rushed into the Queen's Head, and the landlord, Mr. Fletcher, shut the door, and would not admit the complainant, who wished to recognise such as had as sisted in abusing him. The prisoner Thomas, and some others, were ordered to find bail for the assault, and the landlord having been sent for, was severely reprimanded by Sir Richard Birnie for his conduct. A young girl about 17 years of age was brought up on a war rant, from a brothel in Duke-street, at the complaint of her mother, who stated, that she had left home about five weeks ago, without any apparent cause; her family were in the greatest afflic tion about her, not knowing where she had betaken her self to, until within these few days, when they discovered to their mortification, that she hadi deserted the path of virtue, and now refused to return home. The girl herself entered the office laughing, and appeared to be abandoned to all *enie of shame. To a question from Mr. Mixsitur.t., she acknowledged that she was a prostitute, whereupon her mother, sister, and a female re lative, who were present, and appeared to be highly respectable, burst forth into tears. The scene was very afflicting; hardened as the girl seemed to be, she could no longer support her levity nor contain her tears ; yet she still persisted in %refusing to go 'home, assigning as the genie that she was unworthy of associat ing ever again with her family. She preferred going to the tread mill, as she deserved to be punished for her conduct. Mr. Muzsittru. ordered her to be sent there for a month, and she was accordingly taken to the lock-up house ; but she repented in a few minutes, and being brought back, she consented to go , 110113, with her afflicted friends. MARYLEBONE.—(Tms DAY. el James White, a meagre figure, with only one leg, was charged with an assault by Charles Williams, his brother-in-law. Mr. Williams stated, that the prisoner, who lodged in his house, came in intoxicated, at ten .o'clock, yesterday night, and requested the complainant to make up his account, as he wished to leave his house. Witness considering his situation, wished him to wait till the morning, but the prisoner insisted on an im mediate settlement, and behaved so boisterously that a number of people] were atracted to the door, and a row was created. He then struck witness iu the forehead, who gave him in charge. The watchman deposed that he went to the complainant's house and saw the prisoner strike him on the face, he then took him in charge. The prisoner admitted that he wished to settle accounts with the complainant, but said that when he came home last night, the complainant would not allow him to go to his own room, nor even to see his wife. His wife (an interesting-looking body) then came forward and said that she was ready to swear her life against her husband, ac cused him of attempting to smother her, and treating her with all the cruelty possible, both in word and deed. In particular, she deposed that about three weeks ago, before they had come to lodge with Mr. Williams, she went out to visit Mrs. Williams, with whom she had some gin and water, and upon her return, her husband called her all the bad names possible, and when they went to bed pinched her and otherwise treated her very unkindly. She, however, forgave him then, but last night she was saluted with another torrent of abuse, in consequence of which she consi ders herself in, danger. They (the prisoner and witness) have been only two Mouths married. The prisoner in defence, stated that on the first Occasion he was quite tipsy, and made use of improper words, but denied having abused her last night. Mr. Itawmwson advised all parties to endeavour to agree in future, as they were so nearly connected, but in the mean time ordered the prisoner to find bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —( Tlf a DAY. ) Mr. White, of High Holborn, was brought up for re-examina tion. Nothing new had been elicited up to the moment when we went to prem. . Two women and a girl were being examined for the atrocious crime of decoying children to a brothel : one of whom was violated. Case unfinished. The 'Postmaster-General yesterday promulgated the following new regulation as to the Mails for Mexico, St. Domingo, Cuba, and Jamaica General Post-office, Oct. 9. For the future an additional mail for Jamaica will be mule Up in London on the third Wednesday in every month, to be con veyed by packet from Falmouth, which will also take out the mail for Mexico, which has hitherto gone by the Jamaica mail of the first Wednesday in every month. Letters for St. Domingo (Hayti) and for Cults (Havannah) will be forwarded by this packet ; those for St. Domingo to be charged as letters for Jamaica, and those for Cuba as letters for Mexico. The postage upon such letters must be paid in this country. No letters for the other British West Indian islands, or for Co lombia, can be forwarded by this mail. The first mail under this regulation will be made up on Wednes day, the 18th inst. NEW LONDON BRlDGE.—Yesterday a meeting of the Bridge House Committee took place at Guildhall. The members were extremely shy of communicating to those who were not privileged to attend, whether they assembled for the purpose of discussing good or bad intelligence. The report Outside, however, was, that some blunder had been committed already in the erec tion, and that the additional expense likely to be in curred• in consequence, will amount to several thou sands. Every thing was discussed in the committee, it would appear, upon the understanding that ilot word was to be uttered out of it, at least of an un favourable tendency, and even those gentlemen of the Corporation who were not entitled to sit in the committee, found it as difficult as strangers to collect the substance of what occurred. We have it from good authority, however, that complaints have been made, and that they were yesterday under inves tigation. Mr. Rennie and Sir 'Edward Banks were in attendance. The former had, we were told, come up 300 miles to London on account of what has latterly transpired respecting the bridge. Yesterday a large number of shares in new formed Companies were sold at the Mart, and if any thing were wanting to prove the nature and condition of some of those concerns, the result below would be con clusive. In not one instance did the purchase money amount to the deposits paid on the shares. The sale took place under the direction of the assignees of Mr. A. Corbett.

A COMPLIMENT.--A gardener of this town cum. plained to the Mayor, that a hound of Mr. Coram, of Xinterbury-street, had' invaded his premises and killed two pigs, his property. He said he could produce a woman to prove that the dog had entered the piggery ; but he afterwards observed, th a t th e woman could not say the mischief had been actually d one b y t hi s can i ne Moloch, but she had seen him lurking about the pre mises, and shortly after heard the pigs squeak out " murder !" The Mayor seemed much amazed by this anecdote of, swinish loquacity, and he was moreover greatly flattered when the complainant subsequently re marked, that " when he had left the pigs a short tune before the murder,' they were as well in health as his Worship !"--Plymouth Journal. THAMES TUNNEL. This singular and extraordinary undertaking is making; rapid progress towards its completion, and there seems every probability of ultimate success. The following i s brief outline of the present state of the works : The communication with the spot where the wor ki ng people are employed is by means of a ;haft, 70 feet in depth, 50 feet in diameter, and 150 .n circumference, to which visitors descend by means of, windinr. staircase: This staircase.— .temporary nature, and it is arrangementT iil l t i e is nlied,oli te c is orn o p n i l e y of A t , :.(311 of the undertaking, to form another l'itar construction, but of much la rger dimensions, shaft a of as a., : , 4 age.way. The diameter of this shaft will be 20Q feet, winch, from the base to the surface of the earth, will still leave a descent of about 60 feet. This aseentOtowever, will be so constructed as not to create any coutidarabrk,' diMeulty to the carriage of heavy burthens. The apparatus by which the work is carried on, is by means of a east-irate sisield,"Which is under the controal of a lever, in which there are 36 boxes, which 'can either be moved sine, or.jointly, at pleasure, in which the exmtva tors perform their operations. There are three tiers of them, and when the propelling power is called into action they move seine inches at a time. They are com p ose d, o f iron, and the shield i s formed to the extent of the proposad undertaking, being 40 f ee t i n w id t h an d 2 2 feet in height. The shield is square, and "after forming the arch, the corners are bricked, and the square completed ; and at no time is there more than nine inches, and seldom above six inches, left unprotected. On the excavators remov ing the rough earth, the bricklayers immediately follow with three courses of bricks, which form the arch, and which is. four feet in substance. The distance from he top of the shield to the bed of the River is 20 feet, and the precau tion exercised in the formation of this important part of the undertaking is so well adapted, that in the event of any accident occurring, by the rush of water or the burst ing of a spring, the top-sleepers of each box, us they are called, will immediately unfix ; and if the danger increases, they can brick it in, which has already been the case, when some of the land springs, before they came under the River, impeded the progress of the undertaking., and which has hitherto proved effectual. The medium of communication will be by means of two arches, each 17 feet 6 inches in height, and 13 feet 6 inches in width, separ.ated by a pier 3 feet 6 imles, one of them intended for the communication froz, W a ppi ng , and the other from Rotherhithe, so that no possible ob . struction can occur ; and the gas lights 'tieing placed at so short a distance from each other, win present a most sin gularly pleasing sight. Every 12 feet there is an opening, by which passengers may recoicnize each other, but the op portunity of passing from one arch to another will be pre vented by an iron railing., In each of these communications gas will be laid on, and any inconvenience arising from this mode of lighting, will be counteracted by an admirable system of ventilation, produced by sit aperture between, quality the two arches, the draft of which, at the resat moment, is so great, that it will immediately eittinguish a link Or iT lt o s t • h i h a l lee,trobhsfioltrlerdoooittilligrsgichelsdra,i:billiel,iftt:ia,nownfilehtneiictbiheiesl yielnligimllhoblprelteahettehe:odebr,scliaonwbioltirik,s oi w T so l lo h l n e e p n olte t dri rnt h i o e o r o ! rainodoiptaihiey made aar y s tar, but a very strong cement,. in the preparing and e l : I (st description,flltielli is and fle d i) , ofof awhoi;lsittdhoerogib. the clay procured by the excavation,and. - e from , manufactured under the superintendence of the Company, Previously t o the ' commencement of the undertekinf. the bed of the River was carefully bored, to ate ertion the stratum of the soil, which blue clay, of a very strong nature.
